    We went to a book signing by Joy Castro about 5 days after mailing our DA letter. She wrote "The Truth Book". Interesting but sad book about how she was raised as a dub by very abusive parents, and the elders did nothing to help her or her brother.

    Man, I was paranoid then. I kept looking over my shoulder for elders to be there spying on people.

    Making non-JW friends! Staying home and watching Thursday night TV after an exhausting week of work and NOT feeling guilty about it! Sleeping in on the weekends! Reading websites like this one and books like Ray Franz's! Reading books about other religions and philosophies, and NOT feeling guilty about it!

    Peace,

    Rachel

    Well nobody really said it....they said "dating"....nothing illegal about that.

    So I guess I'll say it.......I slept with someone of the opposite sex (it was O.K. though) because all we did was sleep in the same bed together...nothing happen that night.

    well, i was smoking, getting intimate with a girl, dating a woman, and had a threesome with two guys at a hotel after a gig some band threw, all before i was finally kicked out; for not quitting smoking.

    Can't quite remember, I guess really the first thing I did was use my mind ... with regards to the Witnesses. As far as actions performed by said brain, I think it was getting drunk in the April after I left in January.

    Edit: Oh yeah I was reading apostate stuff starting the beginning of January, I read Crisis of Conscious in February or March.
